GOING:

Race 4 1400m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with Erika Margherita leading the way. KIKUNO ARDENT (4) raced on the speed last start and battled on well but found one better over 1400m at this track. Good record at this journey and is sure to play a big role. MIKKI CANDLE (6) has accrued four minor placings from six runs this campaign. A neck from the winner in second last start over 1400m at this track and must be included on the strength of that form. ERIKA MARGHERITA (10) is resuming from a spell of seven months and having her first run for the Tomotaka Morisawa yard. Was in the placings when first-up from a spell last campaign at Chukyo over 1400m. Among the better hopes while fresh. YAKUJIN MYO O (5) comes here off a last-start seventh over 1400m at this track. This sets up nicely.
